[F1] – Good morning dear readers of FormulaPassion.it and welcome back with the appointment dedicated to the direct written report of the first free practice session of the Spanish Grand Prix. After the double round of Silverstone, the Circus moved to Catalonia to complete the second triptych of races of this anomalous championship. Lewis Hamilton is still firmly in command of the world championship standings, but now in second place there is a Max Verstappen ready to take advantage of every single opportunity that presents itself in front of him.
